Camden Community Infrastructure Levy - Draft Charging Schedule

Overview

We are planning to introduce a Camden Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and we would like your views on our Draft Charging Schedule.

The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) is a new charge that local authorities will be able to collect on new developments in their area. It is based on a formula relating to the type and size of development and is collected when planning permissions for new developments are implemented. The funds gathered will be spent on infrastructure within Camden such as schools, highways improvements and many other forms of provision which are currently funded by monies paid by developers under Section 106 obligations.

The consultation presents Camden’s Draft Charging Schedule which sets out how much the CIL will be, expressed as a rate per square metre. Different levels can be charged in different areas or for different uses.  We are seeking your views on Camden's proposed charging schedule and a draft list of projects which could be funded through the CIL.

The draft charging schedule will mainly be of interest to those who are implementing planning permissions but the draft funding list may also be of interest to Camden's residents, businesses and communities.

Why your views matter

We want your views on our proposed rates for different uses in the preliminary draft charging schedule and your views on the boundaries set for the four charging zones and the draft funding list.
